moonlight kissing dawn,
and feeling alive once more,
beginnings take flight,
ashes of despair withers,
fluttering wings blossoms bright .

Lovely and airy – you’ve captured the breathless feeling, that slight “dizziness” – just before one lifts off – into “light” – that sensation of shedding (or trying to) of despair; it’s that “wobbles moment” – when the brain teases and is chirruping, the negative trying to weigh down – but whether it’s the heart, spirit or soul that calls out, perhaps in a whisper, and wins ….. this is what I feel and sense when I read your tanka …. well done!
